Configuring IoT devices on Android

Please helllppp!!!

I have a few IoT devices at home, which are configured by opening their own wifi network and then their app does the initial configuration using that network. Some of them require the user to connect the phone to their network and then use the app to configure. The problem is that when I connect my Samsung Galaxy 9 to their network, it says it is not a safe network and disconnects it (doesn't even allow to trust it). My Apple iPhone is much more civilized and connects and allows the app to configure the device.

Can anybody tell me how to cure Android from rejecting the wifi network created by a device for configuration purposes?

NOTE: I edited a bit to add some more details. Seems like for the apps that connect themselves, it works on Android, but I have a problem with one device that requires the user to connect the phone to the device's network. This is when Android rejects it and shows a message asking if I want to switch to cellular data or use other network. How can I disable that?
